Program Coordinator (Site Supervisor)

Opportunity Matters is seeking a Site Supervisor for a house in Sartell, MN. At this home lives a high-energy, fun-to-work-with individual who likes basketball, walking to the park, playing video games, and going places. This site needs someone who can match that energy, be with the individual at all times, step in during interfering behaviors, and support appropriate social interactions. The person served requires active supervision at all times, especially during encounters with people in the community and/or visitors to the home.

The ideal candidate can recognize antecedents, know when the person needs downtime and space, and support the individual through behavior cycles. The Site Supervisor will train and oversee staff so that the team understands how to work with the individual consistently in following the programs and service plan. Our Site Supervisors are assigned to one home site, but they understand how the Organization works and help out at other sites as needed.

The schedule is mainly 8a-4p M-F. May be required to help cover other times and may work occasional weekend shifts if needed.
